Vercel Plugin for AI Coding Agents


Vercel Plugin

The Vercel plugin gives supported AI coding tools Vercel-specific context, skills, agents, and slash commands. The default installation keeps automation lightweight and activates session-start context only in empty directories and detected Vercel or Next.js projects.

What the plugin provides

The plugin installs Vercel context, skills, and a lightweight default hook profile.


Usage

/vercel-plugin:ai-sdk

/vercel-plugin:nextjs

/vercel-plugin:deploy prod

npx pluginsaddvercel/vercel-plugin

After installation, session context is injected automatically only for empty directories and detected Vercel or Next.js projects. You can invoke skills and commands directly when you want targeted guidance:

Status

After installation, the plugin keeps automatic behavior lightweight. Session-start activation runs only in empty directories and detected Vercel or Next.js projects, and Vercel skills are not auto-injected on every prompt or every tool call by default.

Debugging

Prompt text and bash and tool-call telemetry are not collected.


Telemetry behavior:

setx VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY off

export VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY=off

  • If VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY is unset, the plugin sends a once-per-day dau:active_today event
  • VERCEL_PLUGIN_TELEMETRY=off disables all telemetry, including the daily active event

To disable telemetry in shells that launch your AI coding tool:

If the plugin is not behaving as expected, enable debug logging with VERCEL_PLUGIN_LOG_LEVEL:

Level

off

export VERCEL_PLUGIN_LOG_LEVEL=debug

No logging (default)
